SECURE POWER OF ATTORNEY FORM IMPLEMENTATION

A recurring problem facing dealers’ is that a customer with a missing title trading-in a

vehicle to a dealership often fails to return to sign a duplicate title. In order to address

this issue and meet dealers’ needs, GNYADA worked with the DMV to create the MV-93

Secure Power of Attorney form.

The MV-93 serves to authorize the dealer accepting the trade-in as the attorney-in-

fact for the purpose of odometer and damage disclosure and signature on a title. This

eliminates the need for the customer to return to the dealership to sign the duplicate title.

When did the New MV-93 go into effect:

For any sale dated on or after May 22, 2015, only the DMV-issued Secure Power of Attorney Form (MV-93) may

be used by a dealer to sign the title on behalf of the selling owner and record the odometer reading. After this

date, “homemade”forms presented by a dealer will not be accepted by DMV.

How to order the New MV-93:

Dealers must order the Secure Power of Attorney Forms (MV-93) directly from DMV. The forms are available in

packages of 25 and cost $125.00 for each package.

The form can be downloaded at:

Dealers may pass along the $5 fee for a Secure Power of Attorney Form to a customer who is trading in a vehicle

or to a customer buying a trade-in. The $5 charge must be listed separately on the invoice, with the disclaimer

“THIS IS NOT A DMV FEE.”

How to Use the MV-93:

The DMV provides a list of instruction on

how to properly use the Secure Power of

Attorney Form (MV-93).
